The CMT ITK Plus Non-Ferrous Metal and Composite Decking Blade is a 10-inch, 80-tooth saw blade engineered for clean, chip-free cuts through aluminum, copper, brass, plastics, fiberglass, laminates, melamine, and composite decking materials. Built with a Triple Chip Grind (TCG) tooth geometry and a -6 deg. hook angle, this blade controls material feed and prevents grabbing, making it a reliable choice for contractors and woodworkers who need precision results on non-ferrous metals and composite surfaces. Rated to 7,600 RPM and compatible with miter saws, radial arm saws, and stationary table saws, the CMT ITK Plus is a purpose-built cutting solution for demanding job site and shop applications.

Key Features

• 80-Tooth Triple Chip Grind (TCG) Configuration - alternating flat and chamfered teeth distribute cutting force evenly across non-ferrous metals, composite decking, laminates, and melamine, delivering smooth, splinter-free edges that require minimal finishing work.
• -6 deg. Negative Hook Angle - slows the rate at which the blade feeds into the material, reducing grabbing and kickback risk when cutting aluminum, copper, brass, and hard composite panels for safer, more controlled operation.
• Hardwood (HW) Carbide Tooth Material - premium-grade carbide tips maintain edge sharpness longer through abrasive composite decking, fiber-reinforced plastics, and non-ferrous metals, extending blade life between sharpenings.
• 0.102-inch Kerf Thickness with 0.071-inch Plate - the generous kerf-to-plate ratio provides lateral stability during cuts, reducing blade flex and improving cut accuracy in demanding crosscut and rip applications.
• 7,600 RPM Maximum Speed Rating - supports use on high-speed miter saws and stationary table saws without compromising blade integrity, giving professionals the flexibility to match cutting speed to material requirements.
• 5/8-inch (15.88mm) Bore Diameter - fits the standard arbor size found on most 10-inch miter saws and table saws, allowing straightforward blade swaps without adapter rings in most setups.

Why This Product

• Contractors cutting composite decking brands like Trex or Azek need a blade that handles abrasive polymer-wood fiber blends without chipping the surface - the TCG tooth geometry on this 80-tooth blade is specifically designed for exactly that material type.
• When working with non-ferrous metals such as aluminum trim, copper flashing, or brass fittings, a standard woodcutting blade grabs and gouges - the -6 deg. hook angle on this blade controls feed rate and keeps cuts smooth and safe.
• At 7,600 RPM, this blade is rated for high-speed stationary table saws and miter saws commonly found in professional shops and job sites, offering versatility across multiple machine types without needing a dedicated blade for each.
• The 80-tooth count provides a high tooth-per-inch ratio ideal for crosscutting laminates, melamine, and veneered plywood where tear-out on face veneers is a common problem with lower-tooth-count blades.
